Unexplained light/sound phenomenon

My husband and I and our three kids had decided to do a "campout" in our back yard by putting blankets, etc. on the trampoline and sleeping under the stars since it was such a clear night. At 2:00 am we were both awakened by a loud "humming" noise accompanied by a pulsating light that filled the entire night sky (not a beam) but seemed to emanate from a circular/semi-circular object as far away as any other star in the sky. The humming/light would get louder/brighter and then dim. This happened three times in a period of 10-15 seconds. There was absolutely no alcohol/drugs involved in this sighting and this is our first experience ever with this sort of phenomena. Any explanation or insight would be appreciated.
